[Frameworks] neg cutting

[Els van Riel]

Hi,

Here in Belgium we had Huguette Van Volsem who worked as a fulltime neg-cutter for our Belgian film-en TV industry. A few years ago Mariette Michaud bought part of her equipement and uses it from time to time. Her splices ar invisible.

By the way, reading about the JK optical printer, in artist run LABO BxL we are still on the look out for its super-8 gate and lens-extension for our JK107. See picture.
If anyone could give me a lead? We have a budget for it.

Thank you very much!

Tape splices are fine for a JK.  You can even cut the neg with handles and skip the splices when printing.

However, if you are going to a “real” lab, they won’t like tape splices because they can’t use an ultrasonic cleaner.  (They can, but the splices eventually come off.)
